tides

I just looked up the tides Sept.21 the tide is high at Watch Hill at 8:59AM so in the morning of the 21st you will have a dropping tide, and the tide will be the top of the incoming at 9:15PM if anyone wants to fish the incoming in one of the breachways. Inside the ponds is about 2 1/2 hours later inside. Tides on Sept.28 the tide is high at 1:19AM, and 1:49PM. The 21 st you will have a dropping tide in the morning, and the 28th low tide at daybreak, with a rising tide in the morning. I don't think it matters too much as you will fish both tides anyhow. I hope we can figure who is going and whether caming or motel. I am going to be down there a couple of days next week, I will then be able to check out what is available. I will also see what I can find out about kayak rentals in Charlestown, and if they can be taken out of town. :eyecrazy: One thing I want to stress is I expect if there is a few guys going with kayaks I want to see them at least paired up. It should be a buddy system) I want everyone to have a good and safe time. if there is any questions or if I don't cover everything ask. I might even let you try one of my secret patterns, if you let me tie it on your leader.:hehe: I just noticed that we have kayak rentals a s a sponsor sorry I won't check in Charlestown about rentals., it is not fair to a sponsor.ArtB

Either weekend is fine with me.

I have a yak and I prefer to camp.

Art, it will be great to finally meet you!

Thanks for taking the initiative on this one.

Looks like I'm out.

I have a wedding to attend on the 21st and will be out of town on the 28th.

Art, I'll probably go to RI a couple times between now and the 21st, and I'll definitely be down in October. Hope we can hook up then!

As of now, either date works for me so I'll refrain from voting. I'll be sure to bring the yak this year.

I'm on this like stink on a monkey!

I can do either 9/21 or 9/28. I'll come down from south shore MA for the day. Got a 'yak, cell phone & room in my car for anyone in my area that needs a ride (unfortunately, I cannot fit a 2nd yak on my cartop though).

I'm in for either weekend. No kayak but asuming we can keep it running well Mike and I can bring our boat with room for 1 or 2. As far as lodging I'd prefer camping.

Art, Great pics of Napatree point.
I'll find that date poll you lost in cyberspace and we can at least get a firm date, then we can talk camp/motel and yak/boat/shore and food.

Spinning gear??? What's that???? :hehe: I've been using the flyrod almost exclusively. The only time I use spinning gear now is when I'm fishing with someone else in my boat. Don't worry, I haven't been outfishing anybody lately!

I just spent a half hour typing some info, and my provider earthlink broke the connection so I lost my reply.
First we have got to figure which is the best weekend for the most guys. Second are you going to camp or use a motel? We will need a list of who is going to kayak, and who is going to be shore bound. I will have my inflatable, with my 2 hp outboard, have to bring a rubber glove so I won't get a shock, I don't think I will get the time to pull the flywheel before then. If there is guys that are shorebound I will leave the inflatable on the roof. It depends on the weather, as always. The area I propose that you fish at the time frame weekend Sept.21, or 28 sure have plenty of fish around, if like other years when it winds down by the beginning of Oct. Adrian it will be good to meet you, and that kayak carrier sounds like it would help, I wonder how it will track in the sand thu. Can you let the air out of the tires?:hehe: Quentin are you going to use a flyrod this year? or are you going to use the spinning gear and out fish me. Either way it is OK by me just have fun, and I am sure you will. Jim, set it up so we can find out what weekend is the best for the most. Need to know who is shore bound, and who is kayaking. Whether camping, or staying in a motel. Also we should find out who has a cell phone. It is helpful as you found out at the tail end last year. An after thought, Bonita are off Misquamicut now.:hehe: ArtB Stay tuned Dave P Good to hear you are still alive and well.
